SNL Sketch: Kanye West and Donald Trump
I assume this is a new level of satire, where the Kanye West character is calling a MAGA hat his Superman cape, and Trump is nodding away, looking confused.
A bit too unrealistic though.

Frankly it struck me as a desperate narcissist exploiting someone with mental health issues to prop up their uncontrollable desire for attention.

Sadly, what we watched is untreated mental illness. That man needs help, and soon. I never thought I would say this about kanye West, but I feel bad for that guy.

Hey, I was being generous. Rap and Hip Hop are only music in the broadest sense of the word.

Your president and your future president, sitting at the same table. From 3000 miles away I can smile at that.

About the only thing that I know about Kanye West is that he is married to that Kim Kardashian bimbo, and that Kim Kardashian recently saw Trump about issuing a Presidential Pardon.
Therefore, I expect the prior relationship made it much easier for West to get his face-time with Trump. |

True, but that wasn't what I meant. People simply didn't believe Trump would win. It was a knife edge vote (and indeed he didn't win popular support). West IMO is much easier to predict.
Oh I don't know. Every time he was on the news it would be like a comedy show. If you woke up feeling down you'd think about how the leader of the free world was a half crazed opioid addicted rapper and you couldn't help but smile. |

Try to understand that the left needs to destroy Kanye because he is no longer PC. It really is that simple. Dems should find it terrifying, but they won't. It's just business as usual.

It's funny how I'd be called a racist if I ever said half the things posted above.

I absolutely love the irony of you missing that the right has been moving towards extremism, too.
Also, you have plenty of socialism on the right. Government-paid medicare and military is socialism. Clearly no one's against it. Perhaps you were thinking of communism? |

It has nothing to do with being PC. Have you actually seen some of his speeches or interviews? His mental health issues are obvious.
1. What does Venezuela or socialism have to do with the topic of this thread? 2. An authoritarian country calling itself socialist, or democratic, or a republic doesn't make it socialist, or democratic, or a republic. Venezuela is an authoritarian dictatorship. In my experience, most who make such comments can't even correctly define socialism. |

Having West into the Oval Office was nothing but an opportunity for Trump to say "Look at ME! I've a got a famous BLACK celebrity who LOVES me!"
It's no secret that West has mental issues and is off his medication. West was shamelessly being used by Trump. The very idea that their meeting was about discussing prison reform and manufacturing was not credible. West is not an expert on either. If that had been the true reason for their meeting, they would have met behind closed doors. It was all about publicity for Trump and taking advantage of a sick man. Shame on him. |

The most leftward lurch by Americans will still not be toward as socialist a system as in Canada or the Scandinavian countries, who all rank well above the US in so many ways. Your use of Venezuela as a touchstone is hardly relevant, and indeed is grossly disingenuous.
Just adopting a one-payer health care system will make such a difference to the lot of so many Americans. And it would (or at least could) be cheaper, too. |

The degree to which conservatives self-own at this point makes the job of those of us who enjoy laughing at them so much easier. |
